I. x² + 5x + 6 = 0,
II. y² + 9y +14 = 0 to solve both the equations to find the values of x and y?

A. If x < y
B. If x > y
C. If x ≤ y
D. If x = y or the relationship between x and y cannot be established.

Explanation:

I. x² + 3x + 2x + 6 = 0
=> (x + 3)(x + 2) = 0 => x = -3 or -2
II. y² + 7y + 2y + 14 = 0
=> (y + 7)(y + 2) = 0 => y = -7 or -2
No relationship can be established between x and y.

Correct Answer: If x = y or the relationship between x and y cannot be established. ✔
